Show HN: Vublox Agent Tools, MCP server for live football scores and players
Vublox Agent Tools is an MCP server offering six tools for AI agents to access live football scores, match summaries, player info, and recent results. It requires no API key or signup, running simply via npx.
Background
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard released by Anthropic in late 2024 that lets AI assistants (like Claude) directly call external tools and APIs — it turns them from pure chatbots into agents that can fetch live data.
- Vublox Agent Tools is a free, no-signup package that gives AI agents access to live football (soccer) scores, match searches, player lookups, and recent results via the MCP protocol.
- To use it, a developer runs a single npx command — no API key or account needed — and their AI agent can then answer questions like "What's the score of the Barcelona game?" or "Who scored for Arsenal last weekend?"
- This is part of a broader trend: making AI agents useful for real-time, factual queries rather than relying on their possibly outdated training data.
